What we like
- The melodic purity of the song calling for unity and world peace
Soul experience
- There are so many things that really challenge our way of thinking. The words target those values that many hold dear. If we remove all the outer and arrive at a simplicity of who we are without the complications and complexities what are we left with? Is it possible to exist without any barriers to separate us and could we have peace? What about if we look within ourselves and resolve all our own conflicts perhaps this will move towards inner peace. With that inner peace it will assist in making good decisions we make in the everyday world. Perhaps this is the first step?
To reflect on
- Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…

Helen Keller – heart felt
